World War I Chemical Supply

During World War I, chemical supplies played a critical role in warfare, notably with the use of chemical weapons like mustard gas and chlorine gas. These toxic chemicals were produced in specialized factories, stored in large quantities, and delivered to the front lines via artillery shells or sprayers. The supply chain involved complex chemistry, manufacturing, transportation, and safety measures to handle dangerous substances. Chemical supplies extended the war's destructive capabilities but also led to significant health hazards for soldiers and civilians, influencing future regulations and bans on chemical warfare.
